are those the clubman racing seats, nice choice, i'm suprised you can still use the stock seatbelt. Good luck on the build, how did you melt your cat in the first place? Also, where are you getting the money for that ginormous list of items cause i want in
j/k but keep updating, sounds like fun.

you don't need to crush it.
if you need more than 24 psi from it. i know of a trick. outside of this. the stock 1g will hold 24 psi just fine without getting compressor surge at low boost or vacuum.

but if all goes as planned i may be ordrering my hahn intake mani. next week.....
small update............. im keeping my ASA's and having them painted flat black......... and i have the money 2 order all my stuff.......... i just have 2 wait for the check 2 clear in the bank then game on........ woot woot
good news............my block went 2 the machine shop 2 day...........and i also ordered my vulcan turbo manifold........ i hope 2 order my hahn intake manifold soon.......still cant make up my mind 100% on a turbo yet tho i have some ideas but could use some suggestions..........


small update
my fmic came 2 day.................the dim. tank 2 tank r 30x12x3.............the core is 24x12x3............. inlet/outlet is 3"...........
motor is at the shop.............new pauter rods r ordered and being made.......... i also ordered a hurst sts and nuetral balance shafts 2 day...........
the main ones where: 2.6 pulley, 60# injectors,cai,2.5" catback.................. but i only had that for a couple of weeks before it blew. the cat was melting closed when it was still stock and i didnt notice it in time....sounds weird i know...u would think something like that u would be able 2 tell... but i was over boosting a few pounds but it was cold out, and all my turbo buddies told me i was crazy. they said it was being caused by the cold air...Man where they wrong.
